ARPIN — This summer, energy and education literally go hand in hand.

Arpin is hosting multiple events over the next couple of weeks that focus on energy education, and some featured energetic activities included closing a circuit by holding hands, turning on light bulbs by cranking a machine, and making strawberry shakes by pedaling a bike.

These activities provided Arpin’s summer learning program participants with real examples of energy. Pedal Power is part of the University of Stevens Point’s K-12 energy programs.

Below is a schedule of events over the next couple of weeks:

A Creative Power artist will share his story about the Creative Power Art Exhibit being shown at the Arpin Library from July 7 to August 25. This program will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Arpin Library, 8091 County Rd. E.
